Watching a daft film with a brilliant cast on Netflix. Headache and freezing, huddling under my fluffy blanky while Grumpy troughs toffees in front of Italy and Wales

How long did you run for?

Checking into our hotel in Kilkenny where we'll be staying for the next few days.

Then off to catch the swimming.pool before it closes for the evening. Happy Sunday all!

Do you know I've actually never experienced 'the fear' after drink. Its more a case of me feeling like I must have seemed like a right eejit but that's it. That passes quickly. My suffering is very much on the physical side of things. I feel like I've been hit by many buses and its fùcked up my day.

Lucky you.

I went for a few quiet drinks one sunny afternoon a few years ago ...

Well! A few of us ended up back at mine and we kept going until half 7 the next morning. I don't know how I managed it.

The fear the next 2 days was horrific. If someone had called to the door I'd have hidden behind the couch, such was the level of paranoia.

Lesson learned for Leggy, I haven't repeated it since!

I can sip away at wine over hours no bother but have to be careful with the beer. It is lovely though

Leccie blanket on. Its feckin cold out there folks. I really wish the best of luck to tomorrows gob****e at 9am who gets the credit for my work.

I do indeed!

I'm not one for pints, being such a lady like.

8 glasses, 4 cans, 8 bottles, after that it starts to get messy. That's over a few hours, not knocked back.

I can only tolerate a glass or 2 of wine, although in fairness to me, I do try.

Spirits? Pray to whatever God you believe in that I'm in a benevolent mood.

Besides that I am positively charming. In fact, I'm a joy to be around, and I'll take on any asshole who begs to differ! *

Of course

Spirits I wouldn't be able to stomach at all. Himself likes the odd glass of whiskey but I think it's dreadful stuff. Gin and vodka I also couldn't touch. Funny thing is when you put any of them in a cocktail they immediately taste amazing

Strumms

I like a cocktail, a White Russian in particular but spirits in general kick the fûcking head off me....

I used to be partial to a couple of Jack Daniels and cokes pre closing last orders but whatever they did to my head and stomach... ughhh not worth it..l

Grandeeod

A nice walk done and a decent day out there.

Mam of 4

Hopefully the day gets warmer as it goes on , have a fecking jacket on me here at the moment. Coffee, then outside again , yep am delaying it :pac:

Sardonicat

Well, I managed to wake up fully today! I was totally wiped out yesterday as though I'd been given sedation.

Strumms

i woke about an hour ago convinced I’d my gym with trainer at 11 but it’s tomorrow I’d booked in for not today... doing a class or going just with yourself it’s easy to hide the low energy as you be your own boss... less so when you are under ‘ instruction ‘... relief as energy levels are in the doldrums this morning, very odd as ive been in the main lazy this weekend...

Programme about people with addictions, be it drugs , alcohol , eating disorders.
The family and friends , along with an Interventionist, try get to accept help in a rehab/detox facility.

I'm watching it on the A&E channel, there's a series on Netflix though of older episodes.

I'm addicted to feckin flowers and stuff this year. Heading out to water the garden.:D

Flowers watered. But I must say the strawberry plant is doing the biz this year! I reckon Ms G will be sitting by a road near you soon.:D

And downhill to winter from here on in Grem.:D No more cutting grass or looking after flowers. No more worries about having BBQs or outdoor pints. Getting the oil in. Preparing for Christmas. Hoping Covid doesn't go mad in the dark months. Loads to look forward too! As a nearly 50 Irish man, I take it all in my stride.:D

I love winter. But I love summer too. That said I actually love winter more. I just find the cost is higher due to heating and candles. I love candles.:D We go to bed earlier in the winter too.:pac:

I have a case full of photos waiting to be scanned since last year and you're right dark evenings make a better place to do it, because I won't have to bother with flowers and upcycling stuff for outdoors.:D

In reality we are like animals in Ireland. Come outdoors to enjoy the summer but we are still thinking about the 9 months of crap that we need to prepare for Mam.:D

I like to plan ahead too, so I'm the proud owner of about 5 shovels of coal.

Hotel bedside, reading a good book.

Stunning weather today - and just too good a day to waste so after a swim in the hotel pool and a soak in the infinity pool - we headed due South on the M9 to the wonderful Waterford coast, taking in Dunmore East, Tramore, the Copper coast drive nearly to Dungarvan, then zooming back on the N25 & M9 to catch last orders for dinner in Kilkenny.

Delighted to be on this much deserved break! :)

Deskside with a coffee, looks like it's going to be a nice day.
Hope everyone has a good day.
Later all:)

Beautiful morning out there. It would put you in a good mood. There was some singing at the top of the voice done on the way to work this morning that might have been more like a disturbed banhee's cry but sure nobody could hear me so no crime was committed

And yes banhee is a word. It's a Mr. banshee apparently. God bless you google!

What's next, banbabies.... ah look at their ickle faces

Think that I’m in Death Valley where it’s a horrible 42 degrees C. Gotta sit here 8 hours waiting on our passengers to return. If Sally O’Brien was to give me an egg, the bloody thing would burn.
